The motivation behind Mommy Learns is so that I have an outlet to decompress my daily adventures as a parent. I have come to understand that my mother was right when she said, “We learn something new everyday.” And it has surprised me to realize just how many of those daily lessons come from my children. I always thought I was supposed to be the teacher and pass on my vast stores of knowledge to them. As it turns out I learn so much about my children, myself and the larger world from watching these two small beings grow. As I’ve come to this realization that knowledge is flowing in both directions I have an urgency to save my experiences not only for my own reference but hopefully so others can eventually read them. I hope that maybe someday people will want to share their own lessons learned with me and this site can become a conversation between parents as we struggle through the difficult jobs we have all undertaken.
